Hacktivist announce new album ‘Hyperdialect’

HACKTIVIST have announced a new album!

Titled Hyperdialect, the upcoming album from the crossover UK metallers is their brand new full-length album and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via UNFD.

In the wake of a global pandemic that has sharpened collective senses and exposed the systematic flaws across society, these should be times primed and ready for the truth-bombs that HACKTIVIST are intending to drop. “It’s becoming clear that we are on the brink of some type of revolution,” says co-vocalist Jot Maxi, with no small dose of conviction or optimism. “HACKTIVIST are here to bring truth and positivity – the silver lining of a society clouded in poisonous fear. HACKTIVIST also represents a voice that isn’t afraid of saying what needs to be said. We’re already living in the future. We have the choice to either be shaped by it or to stand up and shape it ourselves. Which path will you take?”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Planet Zero. Speaking about the new song, co-vocalist J. Hurley says, “look at the state of the planet at the moment and people are still ignoring it. It doesn’t make sense. There are all these homeless people on the streets, but there’s all this land and enough food to go around for everyone.”

Jot Maxi adds, “there are so many things wrong with the way humanity is. We’re self-destructive and everybody knows it. It’s in a lot of films, especially in science fiction. But that dark future is no longer fiction and it’s very clear that we’re on a downwards path. If I buy a bottle of something to drink, it’s going to be sold in plastic and I’m going to feel guilt about that. Take a look at any city around the world – there’s so much opulence and grandeur on show, but look closely enough and you’ll find people living on the streets, homeless. Where is this going? There are islands of plastic bottles in the sea now, but we only have this one planet. It’s mad. It’s all tilting downwards, and into the mouth’s of the rich.”
